When it comes to maintaining good cholesterol levels, a study finds tai chi more effective than weight training and cardio.
WINK News speaks to a tai chi student and an instructor about why this exercise is so beneficial.
Stephen Piccone turned to tai chi for his health. “The aging body is taking its toll with the arthritis in my joints, pain, discomfort, things like that,” said Piccone.
Now, years later, this gentle art has become part of his daily life.
“Before I walk, I shift my weight here and I step more gently,” Piccone said. “And it’s a subconscious thing now.”
Piccone has become a full-fledged student of tai chi.
